What’s Next?
I am starting a bit differently today as things are different. I want to start by addressing a concern. I will preface what I am about to write by stating I am a third generation Italian Irish American from New York. What I know about racsim, the slave trade and black lives have either learned…

Racist Owners
I saw a video today in which an elderly man walked toward police trying to return one of their helmets. A police officer pushed him down and in all likely hood, the elderly man is dead. There is nothing right about that. I dont care what side of the political divide you are on. That…

Spanking the Rich
If you wanted to control others, how would you do it? Me, I would use the age old tactic that every child intrinsically seems to know. Pit one person against another person to deflect the blame. As adults we imagine that this pitting ends as we mature. For argument’s sake let’s say it does not. …

The Smoker and the Cake
How do you change someone when they have zero interest in being changed? Take the smoker. Back in the day smoking was good for all, for athletes, pregnant women, men in the bedroom alike. We know this not to be true. Smoking slows athletes down, affects the embryo and causes erectile dysfunction. Yet, still smokers…

Moroccan McDonalds
I would like to say that I learn from my mistakes. Actually I think I do. I just like doing some of the same mistakes over and over. I guess they are not really mistakes as much as choices that always lead to an unforeseeable future. I am also coming to terms with the fact…
